Simple, :  Vowels  are: 

a,     e,     t,    o,   u, 

they  are  alsways  pronounced  ah,  ay,  ee,  o,  oo,  never  change 
the  sound. 

Compound  Vowels : 

d  se  pronounced  as  a  in  "fate". 

i)  ce  „  like   eu   in   the  French  word  "feu"  or  u  in 

"much". 

it  ui  „  like  "eeyu"  or  like  u   in   the   French   word 

"sure". 

The  last  two  have  no  exact  corresponding  sound  in  the 
English  language  —  let  a  native  pronounce  it  for  you  and  you 
will  easily  catch  the  sound  ;  the  same  with  the  german  "ch" 
it  is  always  soft,  and  resembles  the  Scotch  and  Iri&h  "ch". 

Dipthings : 

au  =        ow        in  cow. 

eu  zz:         oi          in  oil. 

ei  —          i          Leid,  leyd-trouble,  sorrow. 

ai  =          i  Kaiser,  keyzer,  Emperor. 

ay  i  Mayer,  Meyer,  (name.) 

ie  Lied,  leed,  (song.)

Every  german  substantive  is  written  with  a  capital  letter. 

Golden  Rule: 
Always  learn  the  Gender  of  the  substantive. 


Observation. 


In  the  first  part  of  this  bo^k,  the  German  has  been  printed 
in  the  English'  characters  to  facilitate  its  reading,  but  as  most 
German  books  are  printed  in  the  German  characters,  that  type 
has  been  adopted  for  the  second  part  and  must  there  be  studied.

Declensions. 

The  German  language  lias  three  Genders,  Masculine  ber, 
Feminine  bte,  Neuter  ba£;  which  form  the  definite  article. 

The  definite  Article  is  declined  as  well  as  the  Substantive, 
but  this  being  some-what  difficult,  it  must  be  studied  in 
a  regular  Grammar,  and  we  shall  confine  ourselves  to  an 
example  only. 

Masculine. 


Singular. 

Nom.  ber  SWcmtt,      the  man 
Gen.   be3  2ftanne8,  of  the  man

GERMAN   AT    A    GLANCE. 


Adjectives. 

The  German  adjective  is  placed  before  the  substantive. 
"With  the  definite  article  it  takes  the  termination  in  e,  with 
the  indefinite  article  or  without  the  article  it  takes  the  termi- 
nation of  its  gender  as: 

ber  gute  25ater,  the  good  father,  guter  25ater,  good  father,  ein  guter 

Sater, 

bte  gute  gutter,  the  good  mother,  gute  SKutter,  good  mother,  eine 

gute  SJJutter, 
ba$  gute  Stub,  the  good  child,  guteS  $iub,  good  child, 


Comparison  of  Adjectives. 

The  Comparative  of  a  German  adjective  is  formed  by  adding 
cr  to  the  Positive,  the  Superlative  by  adding  fte,  as: 

Itettt,  little- — Kettter,  smaller  —  Hetnfte,  smallest, 
retd),  rich   -  -  reirfjer,  richer    —  tetdjfte,  richest. 
The  "than"  following  the  Comparative  is  translated  by  nai$u 
er  tft  lletuer  dlS  \§f  he  is  smaller  than  I.

The  Keg-uiar  Verbs. 

The  formation  of  the  regular  verb  is  very  simple,  viz: 
Infinitive :  leben,  to  live,  drop  the  n,  and  you  have  the  Present : 
id)  tebe,  I  live;  add  te  to  the  Present,  and  you  have  the  Imper- 
fect: id)  febte;  the  final  e  of  the  present  is  dropped  before  the  te 
is  added. 

Drop  the  final  e  of  the  Imperfect  and  prefix  ge,  and  you 
have  ihvpast  Participle:  getebt,  lived.

LETTER 


—  AND— 

Book  of  Commercial  Forms,  Etc. 

Containing  specimen  Letters  on  all  possible  business  top- 
ics, with  appropriate  answers.  There  is  scarcely  a  business 
transaction  that  can  happen  to  an  ordinary  person  in  the 
course  of  his  life-time  that  is  not  covered  by  the  Letters  and 
Replies  contained  in  this  work.  If  you  want  to  hire  help,  find 
a  situation,  inquire  about  prices  of  goods,  buy  anything,  from 
a  paper  of  pins  to  a  house  and  lot,  borrow  or  lend  money,  or 
anything  at  all,  you  will  find  the  plainest  and  most  business- 
like methods  of  expressing  your  objects  and  desires,  besides 
being  able  to  reply  in  a  suitable  manner  to  the  offers  and  ia- 
quirios  of  others.  Many  a  good  and  profitable  business  trans- 
action has  fallen  through  for  want  of  being  expressed  in  plain, 
clear,  and  indisputable  language. 

Added  to  this  are  a  great  number  of  Forms  for  Business 
Papers  and  Documents,  such  as 

AGREEMENTS,  LEASES, 

PROMISSORY  NOTES,         MORTGAGES, 

BONDS,  RECEIPTS, 

And  a  Host  of  Other  Forms, 

which  require  to  be  correctly  worded  to  be  binding  and  of 
legal  force.  This  is  the  best  Letter  Writer  for  those  who  are 
thoroughly  versed  in  business  matters,  and  cannot  express 
themselves  plainly  in  writing,  and  it  proves  of  valuable  assist- 
ance to  those  who  are  well  informed,  as  a  handy  book  of  ref- 
erence on  doubtful  matters  of  Expression  or  Form,  to  which 
is  added  a  comprehensive  dictionary  of  synonyms  and  abbre- 
viations, also  a  glossary  of  Commercial  terms. 

Bound  in  boards,  with  cloth  back.    Price  50  cents.
